"Details about the first OEM systems equipped with Windows Home Server are leaking out on to the 'net, and it looks like HP is going to get the ball rolling with its MediaSmart Home Server. Prices for the units were accidentally posted on several sites, such as PC Mall and onSale.com, and it looks like the server will have a US list price of USD 596 for the 500GB version and USD 745 for the 1TB version."

"I don't know why it's so fashionable to bash Microsoft's competence"
- Because they think it's cool. This is what they feel they have to do in order to fit in and be a true tech-geek. Hence the rise of Ubuntu, allowing these people to have the Linux tag slapped on them, and now they think they are hardcore techies. Problem is, they still remain as ignorant to the world around them as ever before...if not more.
Put them out in the real world for 10 years and then ask them to come back and comment. I remember back over 10-12 years ago how much hatred I had towards Microsoft and Windows. But, I was young, and as I have grown up, been in the workforce for a while, it simply just gets idiotic to bash a business like this. I do not like IBM servers at all, hence I simply just do not use them. But I do not spend my life making idiot claims about IBM. Nor would I immediately become biased against any new product by IBM that would prevent me from future use.
What these people want is monopoly in reverse. They want all Microsoft products to be ignored simply because they are from Microsoft in favor of their Linux solution. Kind of sounds like the same tactic they accuse their enemy of doing doesn't it.
Why not just use what ever is the best available? If Microsoft does come out with a good product, why not use it. If we applied the same logic and view of these people, then Linux would never have gotten anywhere. We could simply ignore Linux because it is Linux. Doesn't that sound ignorant? Then why do it in reverse.
